Congratulations! If I owned an xbox 360, I'd probably download it too!

My guess is that your reference is from X-Play with Johnny Extreme

I have a friend at work who loves MarbleBlast Ultra... I keep teasing him about paying $400 for a Console to play a $19 game..

On that note though... he is a long time console player and has said he's had more fun with the XBOX Arcade games then the $50+ console games.

Great job guys! I would never have seen this coming a few years back, even with a crystal ball!

Alright stop, collaborate and listen:
Torque is back with a brand new invention
somthing grabs a hold of you tightly,
rolls like a marble daily and nightly.
will it ever stop? I don't know,
but turn out the lights, and Pat glows.

To the extreme!

I win.

Wow. I guess my Ice, Ice, Maybe? pun above wasn't as cool as Jeff's paraphrase. ;)

Anyway, congrats Pat and co. This is great news.

"Marble it up!"

Also, PBR's all around!

Aaron Ellis comes in a close second with a good pun. If Jeff haddn't laid down the awesome lyrics, you'd be the winner.
